When we first started playing with things like this (2005-ish) some 
people didn't want java, fortran or obj-c compilers, so everything 
defaulted to off.
And gcc is crappy enough that java, fortran and objc just don't 
crosscompile for every arch (check the arm fortran patches).

Having said that, I rather like complete toolchains, so if it was up to 
me, java, fortran and objc would be turned on by default for every arch.
